The worst thing about this movie, I think, was Jackman. While the other actors/actresses knew that this movie was intentionally cheesy, and they're not supposed to take it too seriously, Hugh seemed like he was trying to make it as serious as possible, and it just came off laughable. C'mon, Hugh, way to ruin the fun!

I actually love this movie (okay, it's a sick, twisted love, but still...) Unfortunately, this sort of stuff is getting really old. The studios has pushed me to the point of not ever wanting to buy ANYTHING on DVD because they'll eventually release a bigger, tricked out version of something I've already paid for (even though I don't need this since I bought the special edition the first time around ... told you I love this movie... and sold the third disc classic monster movies to someone who wanted it). I'm passing on SO many things these days knowing that either 1) there'll be a better edition later or 2) it'll eventually show up as an $8.99 item (or less) at Best Buy.

Um... is there anything new on there? I'm fairly certain I'll stick with my 3-disc edition.

But really, is there one new thing on there from the regular 2-disc edition (which is the first 2 discs of the 3-disc)? I mean at least the new Mummy sets have a few new things; not enough to merit purchase, but still, they're new. Damn, Universal, just... damn.

I will however pick up the newer Dracula and Frankenstein Legacy Collection 2-discs, as well as the new Mummy one. In fact, those'll all probably be on sale when the Mummy comes out, so I'll get them then, methinks.

I passed on it the first time around, then saw it on cable. I may not pass it up this time. And what a coincidence that similarly-priced two-disc editions of the Mummy (remake) films are coming out the same day. :p

lol sec127 we're in the same boat. i kinda want it becuz the cover is so cool and kate b. is so hot, but i already have the 1 disc and really dont care for the special features....as this movie is not dat good where u care about how they made it....

I really like this movie. And I always wanted to have the 3 disc dvd of the first edition but it when OOP. So, I'll buy this with Van Helsing The London Assignment to complete the Van Helsing collection.

Bouncy X wrote: no blu-ray love? awwwwwI think that Universal has not individually officially announced any of their titles yet. I would be quite surprised if the Mummy films arrive on Blu but this does not, so I'd count on day and date for this title.

I might hawk my three-disc to get this, since Universal has since done Legacy releases of Dracula and Frankenstein (with The Mummy, now, and a remake of it on the way, can The Wolfman be far behind?), so the third disc is kinda worthless.

I liked this movie the way I like Army of Darkness. Not that this is anywhere near as good, but it's the same principle. I have to agree that the very end of the movie, the last scene, is probably one of the worst scenes I've ever seen in any movie, though.

I didn't think this movie was great, but I have the original single disc release and I'll probably upgrade eventually. I was thinking about getting the old three disc release, but I think I'd rather have this.

They expect the schmucks who didn't buy the three disc edition and felt "cheated" by the one disc'r to pony up as an act of atonement to their wicked, wicked transgressions. Yeah, good luck with that, Universal.

Oh, and don't forget the "If you liked The Mummy, You'll love..." appeal

The only reason why I got the 1st release even though I thought the movie was okay at best is that I love Kate Beckinsale and she was nice to look at in this movie. Other than that, no need for an upgrade for me.
